"I have It In writing, signed by Dootor Garfield himself." Mr. Garnsey was unable to say what had prompted Doctor Garfield to recon sider his desire to return to private life It Is understood, however, that Presi dent Wilson, Just before leaving for Europe, personally urged the fuel admin istrator to "see the Job through." Doctor Garfield's resignation which was tendered a few days ago, was to be effective "at the pleasure of the Presi dent." Mr. Wilson had accepted It. with the understanding that the needs of do mestic consumers would continue to re celvo the attention of the fuel admin istration until the end of the winter. Mr. Darnscy said today that his stay In Philadelphia Is a matter of only a few days. He added that ho had told the anthracite committee he was hi-re to "work undT them and assist In any way possible " With him came Arthur 8.

The business men acted after llten'ng to a speech by E. E. Beldleman, Lieu tenant Governor-elect, who declared business generally had suffered from restrictions Imposed by men who lacked knowledge of business. "You know as well as I do," ho said. "that men have applied regulations to your business who have not been fitted for the work. "For fuel administrator a man should be appointed who has been brought up in the business."

Secretary of War Baker expressed to the visitor his hope that It would be possible to bring the Pennsylvanlnns. par lcularly those from Philadelphia by way of the Delaware. "But," he said, In a, note of warning, "I am not going to have any man landed where the conditions are not wholesome and moral. When I tind Immoral or unwholesome conditions nt a por city, I will have the men kept away from It. through the ports nearest their homes. I would like to have the. Pennsylvania men come In through Philadelphia, the Massachusetts men through Boston, and so on. and have directed that this plan bo carried out as far as practicable." Delegates Delayed The Philadelphia delegation, repre senting the camps and quarters com mittee of the Joint special committee on sustenance and relief, headed by Mayor Smith, was delayed In arriving. Instead of keeping their appointment with Sec retary Baker for 11 o'clock they arrived half an hour later to find tho Secretary engaged. T..

I Oaffney Mokes Requests , Mr. Gaffney outlined the purpose of , the visit. "There are about 300,000 men from Pennsylvania and 70,000 from Philadel phia In the army and navy," said Mr. ' GafTney. "Our city has set aside $800, 000 for sustenance of dependents of Philadelphia men in the service and 1300,000 to be paid to families of the , 1068 city employes In the army and navy to make up the difference between , their service pay and their regular peace time salaries " When Mr Gaffney asked early re lease of city employes, In hervlce, Secre tary Daniels said: "If we should begin to discharge the men in the public service from Phila delphia we would have to do the same thing for other cities. I don't bellevo the navy men can be discharged in that way. I have medo provision that every man who wishes a discharge can apply for It and the discharges will be Issued according to the weight of tho reasons." Miuw Tort's Merits Secretary Baker vvns much Interested In a description of the facilities at 'the Philadelphia municipal docks for hand ling tho returning soldiers. He seemed Interested In the stntement that Phil adelphia has fine harbor facilities and is much nearer Europe than Baltimore mm'- which received J250 255 Is . . .. , ,., ,- .,, .,,. .... one of the largest ever made.

Asked at the closo of his Interview with thu Phlladelphlans whether his statement about Immoral or unwhole somo conditions at the ports had any particular reference to Philadelphia, Sec retary Baiter said It did not, but re ferred to a general situation. Mayor Smith said: "I did not think It had reference par ticularly to Philadelphia. About two weeks ago, Secretary Baker sent a let ter to the mayors of all the large cities giving his views on this subject and urging tnat conditions be Kept morally clean tor tne returning poys. I wired a reply to him wlthhln an hour assuring him that everything necessary would be done In Philadelphia to make the city enjoyable and comfortable for the boys and that every effort would be made to take good care of them." City Clean, Bays Mills Acting Superintendent of Police Mills was asked tills afternoon If he thought the warning was applicable to Philadel phia, "Conditions here are exceptionally good," he replied. "Colonel Hatch and I are agreed the ltd is on aa tight as Is possible In a city of this size." Colonel C. B. Hatch, ot the marine corps, who wis sent here months ago by Secretary Daniels to "clean up" Phila delphia, also was asked It he believed Secretary Baker referred today to Phil adelphia. "That Is a question the Secretary should answer," said Colonel Hatch. 16,000 MORE MAJOR LOSSES Minor U. S. Casualties to Be Re ported Much Larger Washington. Dec. 6. (By A. P.)
